Hi, Can the custom attributes be hidded in runtime? I've a situation where i need to display a client's name in DMX module interface (grid1). This can be done easily in DMX if I use a custom attribute and declare it in attributes section of the module. For that i've created a new custom control which is a dropdown control. So, i've dropdown Text as Client name and Drop Down value as Client id, so, if I display the Attribute in Module interface grid, it Displays ClientId :-(. I want to display name in place of Client Id, so i'm rying to place a Hidden attribute for name, so that I can store both name and id at the same time, and display only Name. please help or guide me here.

just in short, it would also help if you could guide me on HOW TO DISPLAY Client Name from another table, if I've a Custom Attribute saved in database as ContactId. Consider this, I've One Custom Attribute created as drop down that display Client's listing in dropdown. Now, the selected Client is saved by DMX as selected value from this dropdown. Now, if i Add this line in ViewCollection.ascx grid1 control: I get to display the Client id in the DMX interface, but i want to display the Client Name instead of Client Id value, so any idea on how to perform such task ???

Hi Guarav, I see your problem. Good question. I have not seen this type of application for this before. Have you tried adding a second custom attribute that shadows the first? Of course you need to do the logic to keep it consistent, but you could let the customer name live in a second attribute, no? Peter

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
